The good part is this project gave me the justification to buy very specialized tools ! The mayhew, the spring hose clamp plier set etc.
Ironically a very small, right angle Channellock GL6 was very useful. And soapy water for an easier re-install.
The bad part is I will be unable to do any more work until the cuts on my hands heal.
I have no idea how people with big hands can do this job.Mime are like monkey hands and I have lots of small tools and the car is up on a 2 post lift !
Without all these advantages I would have given the job to an Indie. I have one but thought the job was so minor that it was really beneath his skill and dignity to do such a simple(?)job.
